I almost wet myself when I read yesterday that Facebook may have started to win the global popularity contest over the the "Wizened of Oz's social network site MySpace, judging from some recent figures.
Apparently, last month, Facebook had 123.9 million unique visitors and 50.6 billion page views worldwide, according to the research firm ComScore. MySpace, meanwhile, had 114.6 million unique visitors and 45.4 billion page views. It would seem that this is the first time Facebook has edged past MySpace in those metrics. OK, Facebook is growing faster outside the US, while here at home, MySpace is still on top and pulls in twice as many visitors as its competition on a monthly basis, according to the firm.
MySpace gets more than 70 million visits from U.S. Web surfers in a typical month. Personally, I hope Facebook kicks the crap out of MySpace... Even though I'm not really a fan of Facebook... It's just that I'd love to see a 24 year old loser dump all over a eighty year old pompous git, who thinks he can buy the world, including a trophy wife.
I almost wet myself when I read the headline! If a picture tells a thousand wordsm those eight words paint a gruesome picture.
However, I can account for this sudden boom in Facebook traffic - my delightful other half has discovered the joy of Facebook and is steadily convincing all of her mates to join, so they can send each other cr*p via the web and circulate embarassing photos from school discos in the mid 80s. Praise be that the bubble-perm seems to have died a death.
The Wizened is paying the price for women in their late 20s and early 30s ripping each other over crap haircuts from 20+ years ago. It's got so bad at our house that I've had to buy a 'kin laptop!
I wonder if Wendy Deng has a MySpace account. Does she trade pictures of her hubby with her girlfriends... Not a pretty picture at bedtime!!!

I'm not going to ask how you know what the Dirty Digger looks like at bedtime...
